I have a parent form with a listview of people (working). Now I need to add some child Bo's and some child forms that will be called by childformdialogs. First can you have more then one Child Bo on a form? This question was asked on the forum before but I never found an answer.

Second, if you just want to show the persons name from the parent BO and parent form, on the child form so the user will have a reference to who they are working on. Is that possible? Some how you would have to have a reference to the parent BO.

TIA.

I had a problem wording this so if I am not clear let me know. Again Thank you.

OK I will try it and get back to you. I changed names only because I just wanted to make sure I could keep track since this is the first time I used childdialogform......

I understand, but in my case I found that is clear to have the same BO names in forms where those BOs will be translated, it just easier to the eyes to map the BOs with the same name.

OK I decided to redo this Whole Thing so I created a brand new Project. Put the Listview on the parent form, the childformdialog and the BO's. Created a Child Form with the BO's and a listview to see the Child Data. It all Worked fine so I know I can recreate it in the original Project.

BUT:

I decided I want to try a DataGridView and a DevExpressXtraGrid on the child form. I put a Business Binding Source on the Child form and set it's BO to the ChildBo. Then set the Datasource for each grid to the BBS. No Rows of data show. ????? Does it have to do with when the data is loaded into the BBS? If so how can I get the data to show up in the Grids?



TIA. Everyone is so good with their help on this forum......!

Hi Terry,



I am glad the ChildFormDialog is working for you.



About the datagridview I am not really a big fan and in fact when I tried to used it in a couple of occasions it was so frustrating that I end up using a ListView and a ChildFormDialog. I know there are uses for the DataGridView but I am just out of luck with them.
